She was the daughter of a cavalry soldier. A teacher, caregiver, rancher, homesteader, wife, mother and to some, an angle of mercy – even when the person in need was also a wanted outlaw.
This courageous homesteader was a true pioneer of Hot Springs County, Wyoming.
Mary Hayes Picard and her sister-in-law, Lottie Weber Hayes, were home alone at the remote 2B ranch owned by the Picard family. The children were suffering from whooping cough and the men were gone when Kid Curry appeared on their doorstep. He had been shot and needed help.
Who was Mary, this ranch wife closely acquainted with the Hole-in-the-Wall gang?
The Hot Springs County Pioneer Association brings you the story of Mary Hayes Picard, a teacher and ranch wife of Wyoming.
We especially want to thank the daughters of Raymond Picard, Cecil and Mary, for taking the time to share their family memories and oral history. Please note that they pronounce their name "Pick-erd" rather than the French pronunciation of "Puh-card".
